Postcard {1} : Meet Laravel Courses!
Launching of Laravel Courses, PHP support deadline, tldraw update, docker concept illustrations and fun.
Hello friends,
This is the beginning of a new initiative that I’ve been envisioning for some time. Every week I’m going to send you a bunch of stuff that’s going to take you less than 5 mins to consume. Let me know what you think!
Updates
An important reminder! Take quick initiative to move forward. 🚀
PHP 8.0 ended its support weeks ago.
PHP 8.1 ends its support in less than a year.
PHP 8.2 is 🆙.
Laravel Courses is released yesterday! It’s curating the best courses & books on the Laravel ecosystem in one place for you.
🛠 Tools and techniques
tldraw; - a tiny, sweet, free drawing/diagramming tool, released its beta version on 8th December. (release note). Try it, it’s seriously simple and cool!
📰 Articles
I've hand-picked a few articles for this week. If you find an article interesting and are keen to share it with this small, close community of programmers, please suggest me in reply/comments.
Does Laravel Scale? In this post, Jack Ellis is going to address this question once and for all.
If the logic shouldn't be in Controllers, then where should it be? Povilas has explained it beautifully!
I hear the question often, I guess they ask you too - “which is the best beginner book for PHP?” Sitepoint has prepared the answer for us.
🐦 Tweet of the week
Do you work with docker/containers? You’ll definitely find the following thread super insightful!


🥳 Fun!
So, what’s your (funny, not serious) way of fixing errors in no time? Let us know in the comments.
That’s all for this week. Hope we’ll meet soon again.
Take care! 👋
